I would think that day of ops commuting for short and medium haul ops is a much bigger concern than it would be for long and ultra long haul ops.

The ability to get decent inflight rest combined with only one take off and one (hopefully) landing, makes day of ops commuting less of a fatigue risk than multiple sector short haul days or 8-10 hr sectors with two or three crew with no proper inflight rest opportunities or facilities.
